Chilled-mirror hygrometer

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004275

An instrument used to measure the dew point or frost point temperature of a gas, which is a direct indicator of its absolute humidity. It operates by cooling a polished mirror surface until condensation or frost forms, at which point the mirror's temperature is measured. This method provides highly accurate and precise humidity measurements.
